The birds are on the way!!

Florida’s nesting season is November to April and we are so excited to see them when they get here!

The water is really high in the lagoon right now, so no flamingos at the island in a while. We have been spotting more kingfishers lately!

Book a kayak tour and see our amazing wildlife in North Americas most biodiverse estuary!!

About 260-310M birds are predicted to migrate across the U.S. each night this weekend!

Lights at night can be very disorienting to birds during their long fall migration. To help prevent deadly bird collisions, turn off or dim unnecessary lights!

Today’s paddle board mini tours had so much marine life; it was magical! There were schools of different species of fish swimming all around us, pockets of comb jellies, tons of dolphins jumping and hunting, and this manatee came to hang out with us for about 10 minutes! 🥹

Come paddle with us next week! Paddle board mini tours are on Friday mornings (August and September) and are only one hour long. We explore seagrass habitat in a shallow cove near the launch beach and look for fish, rays, crabs, jellies, dolphins, manatees, and other organisms that live in this amazing habitat.

$30 pp includes everything you need. Homeschool families: This is a Step Up for Students approved activity and we are a direct pay provider!
